Tom Dillard Collection

The Tom Dillard Collection includes nearly 200 original negatives of photographs taken or collected by the chief photographer for The Dallas Morning News over the assassination weekend and in subsequent years. The collection consists of mostly unpublished images, including pictures of the Kennedys at Dallas Love Field airport, a photo of a bullet mark on the Main Street curb that led to the "single bullet theory," photos of Lee Harvey Oswald in police custody, and candid images from 1964 of Oswald's wife, Marina, and the Oswalds' two daughters. Included here are photos taken by Tom Dillard that are part of The Dallas Morning News Collection.
